Here are the consolidated answers to the original question from
Ian McFarland (imf@netcom.com):

     I am trying to write software compatible with various Macintosh script
     systems, but have so far been unsuccessful in finding localized system
     software/script systems for some of the smaller languages. (Apple USA
     doesn't seem to distribute some of them, as far as I have been able to
     tell.) Does anyone have a source for them?

     I am especially looking for Korean script systems.

Apple USA sells a Japanese Language Kit and a Chinese Language Kit, but so far
not Korean or anything else.

Unlike KanjiTalk (or Japanese Language Kit), HangulTalk (Korean script
system) isn't sold in the US, to my knowledge. You can contact Elex,
the official Macintosh distributor in Seoul. The system is a little
expensive, more than US$400, compared to the US system. You can reach
them at :

voice: +82-2-780-4545
fax  : +82-2-785-4838 (preferred)

I also heard that the Hangul script system with WorldScript II was
included in a Developer CD which Apple distributes. Forgot the issue
number, though.

HangulTalk is similar to other 2-byte script systems such as KanjiTalk
or ChineseTalk, since they all share the common resources from
WorldScript II. So I guess you can safely assume that your software is
compatible with HangulTalk if it works well on KanjiTalk.

Are you a member of the Associates program?

If you're serious about programming Macintosh, you should join the
Apple Associates program. (Not the Apple Partners, which costs $$$
and is for people doing stuff that is strategically important to
Apple). Associ. program costs on the order of $350 a year. However,
they require an AppleLink account, which is expensive (mind you,
I know someone who got away with naming his Internet account
as an AppleLink address). The Assoc. program gets you a monthly
mailing that includes at least 1 CD a month. I did get a CD
with lots of localized Systems on it a while back.
